Meetings of Interest in the Week Ahead

Today is Halloween, and there are no meetings. But, as the new month begins, here is what's happening.

• On Tuesday, November 1, the Conservation Advisory Council meets at 6 p.m. The meeting is in person only at City Hall.
• On Wednesday, November 2, the Hudson Industrial Development Agency (IDA) meets at 9:30 a.m. The agenda for the meeting has not yet been published, but, since the IDA has lifted its moratorium on reviewing applications for hotels, it is likely that the review of the application for Hudson Public, the hotel the Galvan Foundation plans to develop at Fourth and Warren streets, will resume. The project received site plan approval from the Planning Board on September 29. Available records indicate that the project has not yet received a certificate of appropriateness from the Historic Preservation Commission. The IDA meeting is a hybrid, taking place in person at 1 City Centre, Suite 301, and on Zoom. Click here to join the meeting remotely. 

• Also on Wednesday, November 2, the Common Council Legal Committee meets at 6:00 p.m. At the meeting, the committee is likely to pursue its plans for repairing the sidewalks, which may involve issuing a bond for $5 million to finance the undertaking. The meeting will be a hybrid, taking place in person at City Hall and on Zoom. Click here to join the meeting remotely. 

• On Thursday, November 3, the Common Council ad hoc committee tasked with solving the problem of trucks in Hudson meets at 6:00 p.m. The meeting will be a hybrid, taking place in person at City Hall and on Zoom. Click here to join remotely.

All the budget workshops that were scheduled since Wednesday, October 26, have been canceled, which suggests that the Board of Estimate and Apportionment has completed its work on the budget. The budget is typically presented to the Common Council early in November, so we are soon to find out what budget items have been approved and how it will impact property tax.
